I think that Nintendo are really quite unfair when it comes to British gamers.
Not only are we very far down the release list in comparison to other contries but i have found something else as well.
I dont know if anyone else has noticed, but while i was flicking through an instruction manual, i started to notice that other countries have really great sounding perks.
In fact it goes as far as offering nintendo gamers in Germany and Spain the option to join "club Nintendo", if you join you get a regular magazine, a chance to enter competitions and some special offers on games. Much like Nintendo Power in the USA. This might not sound like much, but i would really like to join, but i can't because im a British gamer.
Furthermore, anybody who has payed a visit to www.nintendo.co.uk will find that quite a lot of the text is in German, not only is this frustrating because it is difficult to decipher the text, but also because France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain all have their own dedicated sites, but we do not.
So in conclusion i feel that we are being unfairly dismissed from having similar clubs which are common place in other EU countries, this is a decsion which does not sit well with me. What do you think?

Yeah Europe and Briton R one of Nintendo's main buyers oterwise it would just be Japan and USA and a lot of USA are gonna go for the XBOX!
And quite a few Japanese R gonna stick with their PS2's.
They would make more money if they made a Nintnedo of UK!

my sentiments exactly, and all Nintendo are doing is losing out on money, which they could use to develop better games and equipment.
Despite being a bigger market than America, Europe is still shunned in terms of getting games late and at poorer speeds (read "THE REAL FACTS BEHIND IMPORTING" to find out more).
But as you say, many other countries have this Club Nintendo and the rest... surely this would be a great idea over here... something like Club Pokemon would make loads!
